The Bulldogs

I am by no means an expert of Carlson Gracie history. However, I believe the bulldogs derive from the brazilian tradition of dog fighting. Dog's were judged and prized on their 'gameness'. How much fight or 'game' did they have? When they were backed in a corner would they capitulate or just go all out. I think that is where the maxim "It's not the size of the dog in the fight, but the size of the fight in the dog" comes from. I think this very much reflects the Carlson way.

What this guy said.

I think our logo/website needs a little (how to put this diplomatically?!) attention. Others might not agree but a good simple site and branding sticks in one's mind and catches attention, particularly if you're interested in attracting new members.

Nihilist, if you are talking about the Carlson logo,it will be changed over my dead body.While there is still blood pumping through my heart and veins the bulldogs are staying.Those bulldogs are part of who we are as a team and if you want a modern corporate image you can piss off and train somewhere else.
